The surgery may be done for one lung or for both. Lung transplants can be done on people of almost all ages from newborns to adults up to age 65 and sometimes even later.<\/p>\n<p>Types of lung transplant procedures include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Single lung:<\/strong>\u00a0This is the transplant of one lung.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Double lung:<\/strong>\u00a0This is the transplant of both lungs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bilateral sequential:<\/strong>\u00a0This is the transplant of both lungs, done one at a time. It\u2019s also called bilateral single.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heart-lung transplant:<\/strong>\u00a0This is the transplant of both lungs and the heart taken from a single donor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most lungs that are transplanted come from deceased organ donors. This type of transplant is called a cadaveric transplant. Healthy, nonsmoking adults who are a good match may be able to donate part of one of their lungs. The part of the lung is called a lobe. This type of transplant is called a living transplant. People who donate a lung lobe can live healthy lives with the remaining lungs.<\/p>\n<h5>Why might I need a lung transplant?<\/h5>\n<p>A lung transplant may be advised for someone who:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Has serious lung problems that can\u2019t be improved with any other treatment, and<\/li>\n<li>Has a life expectancy of 12 to 24 months without a transplant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A lung transplant may be needed for the following conditions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong> Severe cystic fibrosis (CF). <\/strong> This is an inherited disease that causes problems in the glands that make sweat and mucus. It is ongoing, gets worse over time, and is usually fatal.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Bronchopulmonary dysplasia or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). <\/strong> These are lung diseases that can interfere with normal breathing.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Pulmonary hypertension. <\/strong> This is increased blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs.<\/li>\n<li><strong> Heart disease. <\/strong> Heart disease or heart defects that affect the lungs may need a heart-lung transplant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pulmonary fibrosis.<\/strong> This is scarring of the lungs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other diseases.<\/strong> Other conditions that can cause severe lung damage include sarcoidosis , histiocytosis , and lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Also, certain hereditary conditions can affect the lungs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not all people with these conditions need a lung transplant. A lung transplant is not advised as a treatment for lung cancer. Your healthcare provider may have other reasons to advise a lung transplant.<\/p>\n<p>Reference: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\">www.hopkinsmedicine.org<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":7829,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7824"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7824"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7824\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7957,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7824\/revisions\/7957"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7824"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7824"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
